Dear fans of A Mafia Year (of which you are many. Have received a lot of enthusiasm for this game in private. Literally dozens and dozens of members, the biggest crowd of support in Syndicate's history):
It is with sadness that I must announce that A Mafia Year has not been allowed to enter the Full game queue. Yes, that's right. Not "not selected". Not
allowed. As you can tell, A Mafia Year does not show up in the
new selection of full games.
A Mafia Year was perfectly designed to fit the current standards for a Full Game:
- Any number of players [A Mafia Year would have the conventional minimum of 21, in fact]
- Any number of non-vanilla roles [emphasis on "any"]
- Recommended Day/Night cycles are 48/24 or 36/12 [I would have argued for a 24/24 exception, instead, to fit the flavor and mechanics of the game, but talks haven't even gotten that far]
Alas, it appears only one previous Full game was favored to run with its, so to speak, "long-ass" format, not to mention even get awarded for that - a priviledge that apparently doesn't extend anymore to other Hosts, chasing their own grand designs and big dreams.
I find this personally distressing and a sign of the site perhaps heading on a dark path, but what can a mere Host like myself do. My fellow co-hosts dunya and Aeris are equally disquieted. I dread that one day a 25-player game might end up considered too large and a "hindrance" for this site.
Contact your local representatives and ask them to revoke the ban on A Mafia Year as a Full Game.
